Another Micro$oft bullshit: They released 2 games, Halo 2 and Shadowrun, only for Vista and they claim that it is impossible to implement DirectX 10 compatibility over Windows XP arhitecture. Anyway an old group of hackers Razor1911 launched a patch for this 2 games allowing gamers to run this games in Windows XP. Apparently Microsoft restricted installation of the games only from installer and the games are fully compatible DirectX 9.

Miguel de Icaza and his team developed Monlight ... a "Linux Silverlight implementation".

Silverlight 1.1 (http://silverlight.net) is a new development technology for the Web created by Microsoft based on the CLR that augments it with a 2D retained graphics system and media playback engine and ships a subset of the standard .NET libraries.

Anyway it seems are in some beta but the program look nice ... Just check out this video with "Moonlight Surface"

Startpage Pageflakes is preparing latest version of its offering, entitled Blizzard, taking steps to turn Pageflakes into more of a social network. The launch was originally planned for today, but has been pushed back until July to incorporate more feature requests from users.

Google desktop was launched some time ago for Windows and now (after 3 years) they came with a Linux version. For those who doesn't know what it is :

You have lots of information on your computer, and you see a lot more on the web. With Google Desktop, whenever you look at a web page, read an email or edit a file, Desktop indexes that item and copies its contents into your local cache, so you can quickly and easily find all this stuff right when you need it.

You can read more here.There is also a paid version (enterprise) for searching company networks.

An "old" video story about "terrorist"/hacker Gary McKinnon.It is unbelivable how easy you can pass some military security systems. I my opinion the true "terrorist" is the IT administrator or the person who hire the "Admin" on this job.

1. First of all how is possible to access the INTERNAL network of a military institution directly? 2. How is possible to don't have any firewall ?3. How is possible to have blank passwords ?

Development veteran Tom Hanrahan, former director of engineering for the Open Source Development Labs and current director of engineering for the Linux Foundation, will be now playing the role of the new head of Microsoft’s interoperability lab, one of the offspring of its deal with Novell in November 2006.

OK ... something about this "Surface" from Microsoft ... I think all technology is already OLD ... why ? Because some other smart guys (is true without to much money) already invented that :)and of course is based on X server from linux and is developed by Novell and other hundread of peoples :)

Are more than 20 hours from when adsense is still unavailable for me and is very frustrating when you cannot check your earnings :) I can't no more to ask myself how much money I get today ... 1 or 2 dollars :D
